I've written a variety of different posts this week, but only one book review.
Six years ago I created a Yahoo discussion group called oz_mystery_readers.
On Monday it turned 6 so that was really my big celebration for the week.
Postings in the last week
- How Many Books did you read in 2008?
I've set up a poll so visitors can record how many books they read in 2008. - Weekly Geeks 2009-6: What's in a Name?
This week's challenge is about names and what they mean. My post is about the meaning of my name and how it is so not me, but I also talk about what Dorte told me about the main characters of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. - Striking Covers
About a style of book covers we rarely see these days. - Australianisms, Australian language in use
Puzzled by the Australian language? Baffled by Strine in use?The information here may help. - Review: DEADLY WATERS, Pauline Rowson
This is the fourth title in Pauline Rowson's "marine" mysteries. The problems I had in focussing on the plot of this book may perhaps be attributable to the fact that I have not read earlier titles. - My blog according to Wordle
Have you tried Wordle out? A little tool to play with. - Forgotten Books: VENOM HOUSE, Arthur Upfield
Did you know an Australian crime fiction author writing in the 1950s and 1960s had an Australian aborigine called Napoleon Bonaparte as his protagonist? - What sort of blog do you write?
A tool that analyses your blog in Briggs Meyer terms with cute cartoons. - The word "apache" in Agatha Christie
An example of the constantly evolving English language.

My TSS post is up!
I haven't read 19th Wife yet but it is on my TBR list. I love a good historical fiction once in awhile. Enjoy your week :)
Six years, wow! That's longer than any of my relationships!
I finished 68 books in 2008 (would've been more if I hadn't discovered Second Life :-p )
